Guest Bilo Posted 7 November 2010 Posted 7 November 2010 Dons v ****** would indeed be great. Not sure what the AFC supporters would do with regards to boycotting though. I'd have thought that would only be an issue if it went to a replay, you'd have a very empty away end at stadium:disabled. As it is, I hope they take a pragmatic approach and make Kingsmeadow intimidating as hell. Guaranteed sell-out as soon as the AFC v MK tie was confirmed and you can bet your balls it'll be televised. It's just unfortunate in this instance at least that gate receipts are divided between the two clubs, though it's a principle I do generally agree with.
CosbehFox Posted 7 November 2010 Posted 7 November 2010 AFC Wimbledon v MK Dons. Played on the weekend of 27/28 November with our game against Forest moved to the 29th already. Anyone thinking what I'm thinking? It did cross my mind but there's virtually 0.000000001 % chance of me getting a ticket. I was really hoping the draw would have a couple of other ties worth of visiting but sadly no.
Fosse Boy Posted 7 November 2010 Posted 7 November 2010 "Depending on the outcome of two replays, we have been drawn against Milton Keynes in the FA Cup 2nd round to be played on 27 November. Most people know the way that Milton Keynes obtained their football club. It was wrong then and it is still wrong now, which makes this fixture very painful for us. However, when we entered the FA Cup we understood that this might happen and we will go about our business professionally and complete the fixture. But we would have preferred that it hadn’t happened. We have no further comment to make at the moment." http://www.afcwimbledon.co.uk/news.php?Pse...&Open=5349#5349
BrummieFOX Posted 7 November 2010 Posted 7 November 2010 Please let AFC Wimbledon and MK Dons win their replays. 1,000,000 times this. Please. Would definitely be a very very interesting game for the neutral, however it seems that not all Dons fans would be looking forward to it. Some really good points made by this guy.. My link Still, would bloody love it to happen. How MK fans would have the audacity to attend is beyond me. Shameless.
Part Of The Crowd Posted 7 November 2010 Posted 7 November 2010 fook yes, lads. Will be getting a ticket the moment they go on sale to season ticket holders/regular away fans. We're woeful away, though.
MC Prussian Posted 7 November 2010 Posted 7 November 2010 Well done Burton Albion! Should've gone today, but I was simply not up for a long bus trip up to Derbyshire.
Fosse Boy Posted 7 November 2010 Posted 7 November 2010 fook yes, lads. Will be getting a ticket the moment they go on sale to season ticket holders/regular away fans. Wow! I bet it's gonna be a super fun day! Having a rivalry like what proper football teams have an' that! Wow! I sure hope no bad people show up and the AFC fans just want to forgive and forget... Come off it, a victory for the ****** would be more hollow than Pete Wankelman's nasal septum. Fuck modern football.
Craig Posted 7 November 2010 Posted 7 November 2010 fook yes, lads. Will be getting a ticket the moment they go on sale to season ticket holders/regular away fans. We're woeful away, though. You've got to beat Stevenage first...

No, I'm looking forward to a football match my team will potentially be playing. You've had to form a splinter group of fans with the pretence that you're going to be on the same level as the European ultras. You're against modern football yet you still go, pay stupid money to watch a team owned by rich foreign owners. Don't 'Modern Football' me. I travel 4 hours to go to home games and I fooking enjoy them. Wah wah wah. As to beating Stevenage, I am quite confident about winning the home return, we'll have our squad back (Most are all off with a sickness bug) and we're doing quite well at home. It's not a done deal though.

Wah wah wah. being agaisnt modern football doesn't always make it possible to go cold turkey - footballs pretty damn addictive. tbh i really didn't enjoy seasons 05-06 to 07-08 - the matches were crap, we were really negative in our style of play, we were getting beat most weeks, the vast majority of the players showed no passion, no desire to get the team on the right tracks again and ticket prices were creeping up as well yet despite that i still went match after match, season after season because as much as i get really pissed off with the way football has gone (theft of clubs, owners bleeding clubs dry and not giving a shit about the fans, the way the premier league has turned into a proccession led by chelseas/man uniteds chequebook) i just could never actually give it up.
purpleronnie Posted 8 November 2010 Posted 8 November 2010 Well done Burton Albion! Should've gone today, but I was simply not up for a long bus trip up to Derbyshire. I'm going to the burton v chesterfield match (hopefully), should be good.

I travel 4 hours to go to home games and I fooking enjoy them. Wah wah wah. Splinter group? Bollocks. Butb this isn't the place to debate that now and it's an argument I'm tired of having anyway. For the record I am skeptical of Leicester's owners and their credibility as football people, and although I wish I didn't feel quite so pessimistic I do think it will end unhappily. Like another poster said, giving up wholesale on a team you've adored since you were a kid is always going to be difficult regardless of ticket prices, and if I think they're ridiculous (like Ipswich away will be) then I won't go. Simple as. Maybe in time my attitude will change and I'll just stop going to any games, but for now I'm just trying to do my own little bit to do something positive to counteract the rampant commercialism, culture apathy and supporter repression in this country. Oh, and I will "modern football" you if I want to because the absolute pile of shafters you claim to support are the very fucking epitome of it!

So in order to avoid being called a hypocrite by a fan of a club that represents everything that is wrong in modern English football we should accept that the atmosphere is shit and take everything that is thrown at us by stewards by not forming 'splinter groups', (which is probably the most laughable thing I've ever read about the Fosse Boys, some achievement), and should have stopped going the minute our club was taken over by someone not in possession of a British passport? Our club has years of history behind it and many of us support the same team that our dads and grandads supported, an opportunity that Winkleman denied Wimbledon fans by the way, so we don't have to justify our decision to continue going to matches to anybody.
Samilktray Posted 8 November 2010 Posted 8 November 2010 Part Of The Crowd was just saying hes looking forward to supporting his football club, and the usual suspects come in here, giving it the big un. Waste.
Bugg Posted 8 November 2010 Posted 8 November 2010 Why are you having a go at POTC? It's his choice to support MK even if the club is everything what's wrong modern football. If he goes to support them then fair enough, gives you no right to act the morally correct fan towards him because the club's owner is a cvnt.

purpleronnie Posted 8 November 2010 Posted 8 November 2010 The 'fuck modern football wannabe European ultra's' will jump down your neck for that. I thought England was in Europe?
StanSP Posted 8 November 2010 Posted 8 November 2010 Only just saw today that AFC Wimbledon could play MK Dons if all goes to plan. Tasty.
dimmerchant Posted 8 November 2010 Posted 8 November 2010 The leaders of the FBs come across as right cvnts. Get off your high horse and stop patronising people to fvck. You are against modern football? Then don't go. Going to a game with the mindset that you are against almost everything the game stands for and you hate the commercialism of it, won't make any difference to the club. 3 or 4 of you walking out mid game because you are angry about how you have been treated? Won't change a thing. If you really want to make a difference then you stop going altogether. You don't stand in the corner singing pro-european songs and anti-everything songs cause that won't make any difference to the powers that be. You don't come onto a message board like this and tell people you are upset and you might hand in your season ticket for the 15th time. That won't do anything. If you are so disillusioned with the game, stop going. And don't lecture other people on how poor their support is because they follow a fairly new team. I don't like MK Dons, but if POTC does and wants to support them, let him.

Nobody supported Wimbledon, that's why they don't exist in the same form any more. Winkelman didn't ruin Wimbledon - they just rose unsustainably fast and didn't have the fan base to support it.
Tilley Posted 8 November 2010 Posted 8 November 2010 People finally realising Fosse Boy is a patronising arse after all? Hallelujah.
Guest Bilo Posted 8 November 2010 Posted 8 November 2010 Nobody supported Wimbledon, that's why they don't exist in the same form any more. Winkelman didn't ruin Wimbledon - they just rose unsustainably fast and didn't have the fan base to support it. Define nobody. Their fanbase might not have been massive but how does that matter? Whether it's Man United or Macclesfield, they still have fans who go to see their team every week and their club is still a massive part of the local fabric. Just because Wimbledon only really had 5-6,000 fans who went to see them regularly doesn't mean they didn't have a right to exist, if you thought that you might as well abolish all football clubs from about League One downwards. Obviously they were punching massively above their weight in the Premiership but could they have sustained themselves at around the level of a Brentford or Bury? I don't see why not.
